The Think Twice Public Beta has concluded. On behalf of the four of us, we thank all of you who participated in testing and posted feedback in this thread. Your comments helped the map nearly reach perfection. Our refined and polished design is now available for all to download and share. However, a map is never finished, so this thread will continue to serve as the feedback thread for Think Twice. Thanks again for all of your support.
To view the list of changes from Beta to now, as well as new videos, please see [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=58880594&postRepeater1-p=28#59369861]this post[/url].

[i]Think Twice[/i] is a simple, yet innovative competitive multiplayer map created by Sven Nietzsche, GodlyPerfection, Jonzorz 124, and myself. The public beta ran from April 11th 2011 to April 23rd 2011. We received constructive and profound feedback from many of the testers, which was invaluable in fine-tuning the map. We humbly thank all of the participants. Your comments have refined the map and made it much better.

I'll be sure to test this out. Looks good. Keep up the work.

Forgetastic Four is not a good name for a group... We'll think of something.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Mass Craziness [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] A 3 Legged Goat I'm thinking of starting a group for that sole purpose. You vote, we build, you test, and we send it to matchmaking. I'll keep everyone posted about that if it goes through. [/quote] This sounds like a good idea, I definitely like that. It would provide for more ideas from the community, meaning different, as well as unconventional map ideas that could work.[/quote] Plus it would be really fun for the Forgetastic Four! yeah! FORGETASTIC FOUR! Goat doesn't like that ; D. so lets make it stick.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Dr D04K I do a lot of map browsing (mostly via forgehub), and I see a lot of fly/walk-throughs, and then DL and play them, so I've developed a pretty good eye for a good map when I see one. That said, I have doubts about this one. While the aesthetics look really nice, I will be shocked if the gameplay matches. If you guys really do have the clout and resources to get maps into matchmaking, why not find REALLY good ones instead of promoting sub-par ones you make yourself?[/quote] There are several problems with Forgehub maps in general. The first one is that thye almost always have framerate issues. This is because they either don't understand how to eliminate these problems, or they only build for aesthetic appeal. Let's face it--even if your map plays well, it being all grey and dull is going to stick with people while they are on it. Conversely, maps built only for the sake of looking good usually play terribly. The maps by the 4 of us are not 'sub-par'. Gameplay may not be to your liking, but the fact remains that it is well-forged and more complete than many maps out there (including the majority of the Forgehub maps). You wont find a higher-quality map forge-wise because we pay attention to [i]everything[/i]. We bump test our ramps to get rid of popping up on the radar when you crouch over them. We sprint-run every merged piece to make sure you don't pop up when you run into it. We even make sure there aren't lighting differences on the pieces that we place. Think Twice is one of those where the screens and videos don't do it justice. You have to play on it to see for yourself. And even if you sitll don't like it then, you'll find that there are no splitscreen issues, no framerate problems, no bad spawns, no unbalanced weapons, and no sloppy forging areas. That is what we excel at. The gameplay is the community's responsibility, and if you truly want to see good maps into matchmaking, you'll help those who have to power to get them into matchmaking to make good maps. We're scouting for other good maps out there as well. I'm thinking of starting a group for that sole purpose. You vote, we build, you test, and we send it to matchmaking. I'll keep everyone posted about that if it goes through.

Downloading now. Later, I'll hit up Forge and do a fly-through. [Edited on 04.11.2011 8:32 AM PDT]

It looks decent but it's nothing mind blowing.

Maybe I should play a game or two with them.
